About the Book

This is a science-fiction story based on a humanistic tradition of science fantasy, horror, and brave deeds presented with chemistry, physics, literature, and art combined together as they are mirrored in great moments of stylistic expression from the past to the present and to the future. It is a true story that is factually detailed combined with science-fiction that’s bold in conception. The narrative synthesis of the sciences and humanities in our culture is both a great intellectual achievement and an eminently readable and visually exciting treatment of a brilliant superhero where present and promise are as vital as legacy. The book’s content is organized from the early beginnings to a futuropolis. To attain depth and breadth throughout the story, each chapter is concentrated on specific moments-for instance, a city in ancient times, the mountains, the desert, the ocean, and forests-mixed with periods that are anachronisms. Each chapter has close and aesthetically meaningful relationships between real life and fiction. Personalities and events shape the superhero to make him more significant. Careful refined distillation of essential stylistic character makes the superhero more powerful to defeat cruel supervisors, evil school officials, and monster bosses leading to victory and a better place to live in as we head for the twenty-first century.
